As the crisp, cool days become more frequent, I begin to think about the things that will keep me warm. I think about those blessed and cursed turtlenecks I must dig out of storage. I’m extremely cold-blooded. So, the turtlenecks are a blessing because they keep me warm daily from October through March. At the same token, they are cursed because I NEED to wear them daily from October through March!
I often think about a sweetened condensed milk drink that I’ve enjoyed since childhood. It’s a Vietnamese staple that warms my heart whenever I have it. The drink is hot, milky, sweet, and rich. What makes this beverage special is the salty cracker served alongside it. It must be either Saltines or oyster crackers—no substitutes! That’s simply how I’ve always known it.
It is truly one of my life’s simple pleasures to sip and dunk crackers into this steaming potion. When I bite into them, I get the sweet and salty combo I love so much. Sometimes (okay, without exception), I can be found hunched over, spoon in one hand, feverishly scooping and inhaling the crackers that have been soaked and timed to perfection so that they are wet yet maintain the body.
Don’t judge me… it’s an art… it’s addicting… you’ll see!
